fire! fire!

teeny tiny speckled spider
dangled from a tree
and landed in my eye!
swimming sprawling
struggling crawling
its way inside my eye!
biting chewing
eating gnawing
deep inside my eye!
scratching tearing
stinging burning
fire! fire! inside my eye!
teeny tiny speckled spider
i'll rub and i'll rub
and i'll rub some more
roll you round
smash you flat
pluck your legs
and squish you DEAD!
if I could just see to
grab at you if I could just get
my fingers on you!
teeny tiny speckled spider
you're the match who crashed
the kerosene party--
GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!
1989

I'm Michelle. This is my blog. I write about women and fatness, expound upon semi-coherent thoughts I have in the middle of the night, and offer tough love to those in whom I am disappointed; they are legion.
